Hanoi (VNA) – Vice President of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Jesus Faria has lauded Vietnam’s achievements during the Doi Moi (Renewal) process, describing the country as a successful model of national construction and development, Party building, and socio-economic development.

He made the comment at a meeting with outgoing Vietnamese Ambassador to Venezuela Vu Trung My in Caracas on August 27, which was also attended by PSUV Politburo member in charge of external affairs Tania Diaz.

​Faria stressed that Vietnam has always been a source of inspiration and valuable experience for Venezuela and other nations striving for independence, sovereignty and social progress.

He also conveyed Cabello’s farewell greetings to My and spoke highly of the ambassador's positive contributions to promoting traditional friendship, comprehensive partnership and multifaceted cooperation between the PSUV and the CPV.

The PSUV leader expressed his hope that relations between the two parties and their two countries will continue to deepen in the time ahead.

Diaz, meanwhile, underscored the importance of the two parties' continued promotion of cooperation and sharing of practical experience in the ideological work, Party building and national development.

At the meeting, on behalf of the PSUV leadership, Faria expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Party, State and people of Vietnam for their sustained solidarity with and support for Venezuela, particularly Vietnam’s dispatch of a rescue team following the recent earthquakes, describing the assistance as a vivid manifestation of pure and steadfast international solidarity.
